Very good video. I'm doing this next week on my Silverado . Wheel bearing in hub went bad and Put a new hub in a couple months back and taking it apart again. Oh well.

Well done but clean all first

Question I just bought a 2003 dodge ram 2500 and if your going 65mph and hit a bump it does the death wobble lol what would that be the ball joints?

Thanks, from México.

Great video. Only comment i have is you're too aggressive with your torque wrench lol pulling past the click will increase chances of breaking

Just did the ball joints, wheel bearing, and axle U joint on my driver side. Going to do the other side next weekend. Total cost for all the parts was $190 and $80 for the ball joint press.

Any reason to replace complete lower control arm like the top? Or just balljoint?

one easy mistake is to pull the hub from the cv joint. this is a really bad method because you risk pulling the INNER CV joint loose which is a real pain in the rear end to reinsert. The BEST way is to gently TAP the outer cv joint to break it loose and then from the back side, PULL IT out of the hub. In this way, you can remove the cv joint from the hub but NOT RISK removing the inner cv joint. Trust me when I say this...its going to be stuck in the hub side. So yanking it will only result in your pulling the inner cv joint out and then you can say hello to a hellish bunch of hours trying to reattach it. again, don't try to pull the hub out from the cv joint. tap the cv joint from within the hub and then pull the cv joint from the hug (the backside). work at this slowly and might even spray from break free lube to help loosen it up. also, this video shows doing this on a lift with a screw jack type plate jack. almost NO ONE as a DIY has this equipment. In order to do this for the typical DIY, two floor jack stands, and a floor jack, PLUS at least 2 heavy duty bungies or towing straps are necessary. also the 43 millimeter bolt that holds the hub MUST BE torqued to spec...if you do not have a torque wrench calibrated and able to go 140-150 foot pounds, you should not even attempt to do this job. It may be possible to get "loaner tools" from some of the auto stores, but make sure. Also you will want to have a complete set of wheel lug threaded inserts. on almost all older trucks, you are very likely to crack/break at least a few of them. it is best to have these threaded studs before you start this job. even if they don't break, replace them anyway...it good practice. I love this video, but sensibly, realistically, most diy just do not have the tools to do this kind of work.

Amazing tutorial! I would, however, recommend a ratcheting breaker bar. It helps a LOT!

Great Video, and helped me a lot. A note for guys with older/high mileage trucks. I just pulled two ball joints from the front of my 2004 2500 with 100k miles on it and a good deal of rust (country road use before I got it). The only way I was able to get the bearing hub out of the knuckle was to use a full size sledge hammer. Yes, that's correct. Not a hand mallet. A 3' 8 pound sledge, or whatever. I knocked out the studs for the wheel, and then I used fairly long swings on the lower right and lower left of the stud flange, with a lot of force. After about 6 hits on the front left, I saw a crack. Took some whaling on it after that, turning the wheel direction each time, but it came off. I can promise you that no "trick" was going to get this thing off. The trick using the steering pneumatics, as the video's creator showed, in my opinion, and respectfully, because the creator did a great job with this video (especially the tip on the sensor and not trying to pull it out of the bearing hub), is not worth trying. The power steering is not going to apply very much pressure at all to the threaded bolt - if that is enough force to get your bearing hub out, than a few swings with a hand mallet is going to get you the same result. Also, there is about a 3/8" recess, so you have to work the bearing hub from both left and right - you can't just force it out from one side - it's in the recess too deeply. Thanks for the video.

Detailed and clear 👍🏻👋🏼🌎🌵 🏜Thank you

Gmc us fun to work on .😅

Very nice and easy to understand the process just wish I had a lift an all those tools for my 2015.. GMC seirria .. but first I have to decide if I want to keep it due to the rust starting in the cab corners and rear fenders ..

I got two different pins for my mevotech balls joint idk why but they gave me two in each pack any clue ?

How long did it take you to do one side ?

Dodge is in good shape

What if you took the other side of the cv off instead of taking the strut off?

Great video! One question. Why didn't you replace the lower control arm or bushings? Thanks

Should put neversieze on the hub before the rotors go on.

Thank you so much for this demonstration. I couldn’t do this myself but it gave me a clear understanding of what was involved in this job when I took it into a shop to have it done.

There is so much flown thru so I really wouldn’t attempt this, based on your video. But I’m sure it works for most people

Those green ball joint are still holding up good? I got moog and looking to replace them

Good lord I had no idea so much labor is involved to do this! I need them on my 2013 Sierra, but I can't do it and there's only one shop in my small town and they are always backed up.

Thank you for the video it reminds me of why I don't tackle these things in my driveway I need to get my ball joints done again but the ones I have on there I'm going to try to get warranty on them from the shop that sold them Canadian Tire store in Canada It's not even a year yet...

Wow and my local shop (Arrigo Sawgrass) quoted me 4500.00 to do mine based on 10 hours of labor. You did it in less than 2

Wish I would have watched this video before diving in head first. Would have had less headaches

Fixing to do this on my 2006 Dodge Cummins. Thank you for the detailed video! Tom

hey do you know if this torque specs are similar to the 2007 dodge ram mega cab 4x4

why not pull the caliper mount and caliper as one piece and save time.

With the stock ball joints non greasable, shortens the service life.

Great video and explanations!

Great video! Appreciate the explanations

What's the nut size for the lower ball joint?

If you know you are going to do it a few days in advance hit the backside of the hub with wd40 and let it soak. Makes life much easier

Thanks for a really good video. I noticed you had issues installing the upper joint using the ball joint press. The press parts were metal to metal contact (not engaged with BJ) making it hard to press in. I had the same issue using an Advanced Auto rental tool. I went to O'reilley, and they had a 4 WD accessory kit that fit the BJ and made it easy to press in using the O'reilley press. Please continue to post these 2500 videos. I'll be watching.

Very nice💥🛠

Good job dude. Thanks for uploading!

Do you have to drain the diff fluid first then remove the axle ?

Lol with how easily everything came apart, aint no way this trucks been up north. I thought maaaaaybe until he got that C clip off with tiny needle nose pliers

Great video. really enjoyed the step by step instruction with no assumptions on the viewers part.

Thank you for the step by step video, like many others have said I saved a TON of money as well being able to do this myself. I don't know if you're aware or the others who watch the videos, but I was able to do "loan a tool" from my local auto parts store and that also saved me a bunch of money on tool costs. Thank you again.

Excellent video Amigo thanks for sharing and taking the time.

great video and yes i was one of those driving a mile with the screeching tires because i did not mark the alignment spots ( lol

Just replaced mine today with the moog problem solvers. Dust boots made inside the joint

Very good video thanks a lot best regards from Mty

Best one on this topic I’ve seen thanks

Great video

Your video is one of the best how videos I've seen on You Tube. You walked us through it step by step doing everything efficiently and without showing too many parts where you sped up the video. Very well done. I give you 5 out of 5 stars.

You should show how to torque axle nut

Great video. Professional as it gets
